Ephraim Toche, Vice President of BOOKS for the BARRIOS in the Philippines has traveled all the way to America to share his first-hand experience with BftB in his home country, as well as learn about operations here in the states. He makes a tremendous impact on everyone he meets.
His passion, positive attitude, and insight on BftB's work is inspiring. Mr. Toche offers a rare opportunity to truly learn about this organization's impact from someone who sees it every day- from distributing books nation-wide to training teachers year-round to working with the U.S. Special Forces. While visiting, he has assisted with operations in the Concord facility, helped out with many field trips, conducted speaking engagements throughout the state, and of course, has been on many sight-seeing adventures. BftB staff and volunteers are very grateful for his visit as we learn from him every day. Come visit us in Concord, California and say hi to Ephraim!

The BOOKS FOR THE BARRIO PROGRAM of the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Engineering started in 1995.
The books gathered had reached barrios in Abra, Pampanga, Bulacan, Zambales, Camarines Norte,Benguet, Laguna, Cotabato, Rizal province.
This program went on for many years with minimal financial support. It has operated because of hearts! Touching the lives, the minds and imagination of the deprived children in depressed areas surely worked wonders on the young. Dont throw away books and magazines - please donate to the Books for the Barrio Program. We could relate so many stories about our experience.
If we love the barrio, the barrio loves us back! Used books have a way of building people and dreams.
